Yarra Ranges Council is anticipating that vehicle access to the Redwood Forest via Cement Creek Road Bridge will be restored in late December 2023, as they finish major bridge and pedestrian works.
Council contractors recently poured the new concrete base for the bridge, and are working on the final stages of construction ahead of the late December re-opening (weather dependent).
In recent years the popularity of the Redwood Forest has increased dramatically. The increase in traffic including tourist buses has necessitated the need to upgrade the bridge.
The Cement Creek Bridge upgrades will provide improved safety for visitors to the Redwoods Forest by increasing the load capacity of the bridge, as well as the addition of a new accessway for pedestrians alongside the bridge.
